/way Vol'dun 45.0 46.4 KusaNote before starting: I tried my very best to not include store bought pets, TCG pets, pets that you have to get a specific breed, and very hard to get pets. For a few fights I did have to use pets with a specific breed because I was spending hours trying to perfect a strat and it just wasn't working without a certain breed. Also, a lot of the BfA fights don't have rigid movesets like previous expansions did. For a lot of these new fights, you have to be a bit more flexible. Use these strats as a guideline :) Please feel free to send me a message in-game at Gabrielle-Whisperwind. I do not usually check the comments because I have *literally* thousands of posts and I will most definitely miss a question, or any suggestions on tweaking a strat.
The rest of the strats you can find here: Family Battler
Addons I definitely recommend:
Battle Pet BreedID - helps you determine which breed your pet is!
Rematch - changes the Pet Journal UI and adds SO much for you for sorting, adds a leveling pet queue, etc. There's seriously a lot. My favorite is that it lets you save teams!
PetTracker - Shows you the cooldowns of the enemy team. VERY IMPORTANT. Also shows you trainers on your map. For some reason not all of them are listed in the basic WoW UI.Hobbyist Aquarist

Emerald Proto-whelp (2/2/2), Emerald Whelpling (2/2/2- didn't need), Dream Whelpling (1/2/2- didn't need)
This entire fight depends a lot on RNG because of Emerald Bite. Basically for the entire fight you keep Emerald Presence up and Emerald Bite when you don't need to refresh Emerald Presence. When you get too low, use Emerald Dream. When Rawly uses Burrow, that would be a good time to refresh Emerald Presence or start Emerald Dream if you are low. Very easy fight, just takes a bit of time and your first dragon should solo this.Element of Success

Kun-lai Runt(1/1/1/) and Chromimus(1/1/2).
Send in Kun-lai first.
Use mangle, then rampage when it's off CD. Thrash for filler.
When the second pet dies, Kun-lai should almost be dead. If dead before second pet, just send in chrom and spam bite.
Switch to Chromimus.
Spam bite until dead, and if you want to end things quickly, howl and surge of power.
Haven't tried this with a carry pet, but I think you should be able to get away with putting one in as soon as the third pet gets tagged in because it burrows on the first turn.doesn't work anymore according to comments
Kusa can be found at the Court of Zak'rajan, which is directly South of the "G" in Slithering Gulch and South West of the Flight Master in Shatterstone Harbor, Vol'dun.

[npc=142059] : Pinch, Shell Shield and barbed Stinger

This roster comes from the current game client's data files, so it is not a complete list of every NPC in the game - older world NPCs that are no longer in the modern client are absent.
